Condition: The City charged the same invoice to two separate federal awards. Corrective Action Planned: This issue has been remedied. The City has corrected this and reversed the charge to the federal grant, reimbursed the grant funder, and filed a revised final grant report. This was an oversight in the management of high volume COVID related grants totaling $10.3M with over 1,000 transactions, and reclassifications had occurred between the two as expenditures became ineligible. Moving forward, the City will take steps to ensure direct expenditures and limit the need for reclassifications. Anticipated Completion Date: October 31, 2023 Contact: Edward M. Dunn, City Auditor

Our back up plan for when a staff member is out or a position vacant is to have someone who is authorized to run EIV at another location/site to help cover until a replacement is found. In this case the EIV paperwork was held at a separate location and has since been placed in all the correct files. A full EIV Policy and Procedure manual is located on site and the new employee is trained on these policies by their supervisor and compliance manager. Both items were addressed in the follow up to the audit. The adjusted income was dealing with a lump sum of income which is not included in income. Correction was made to the 50059. The tenant signed her recertification paperwork 20 days late due a transition in the office. This was documented and file has been corrected. Additional training is provided to all managers on Section 8 Policies and Procedures on a regular basis. Policies and Procedures are also located on our direct intra network for individuals to refer to specific calculations, income issues, asset issues, forms and policies. This training is ongoing.

We understand the Auditor's Office requirement for independent review. The same one file (PIRL file) includes multiple programs that includes but is not limited to Title I Adult, Dislocated Worker and Youth, Trade, etc. The State does do a formal Independent Review for the Trade program each quarter and many of these records are co-enrolled and include the same data elements for review. These are part of the same submission file (Trade and Title I are in the same PIRL file.) The State has also provided that numerous reviews of data do take place throughout each quarter and on an ongoing basis to include our data element validation process to ensure accurate reporting to the Department of Labor. The Department will receive the PIRL file and will ensure an independent review of the WIOA Title I related data elements is completed prior to submission. This review will be completed by a knowledgeable, independent staff person(s) by pulling a random sample of participants and reviewing the correct time frames and data elements are included in the file. After review, the independent reviewer will indicate evidence of the review through an electronic sign off using system tools of the random sample. This will ensure our data management system goals to improve efficiency and move toward a fully electronic system and record keeping.

The findings from the June 30, 2022 schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. Findings – Federal Award Program Audit Finding 2022-001 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Public and Indian Housing Federal Catalog Numbers: 14.850 Noncompliance – E. Eligibility – Tenant Files Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: Yes Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance for Eligibility Criteria: Tenant Files. The PHA must do the following: As a condition of admission or continued occupancy, require the tenant and other family member to provide necessary information, documentation, and releases for the PHA to verify income eligibility (24 CFR sections 5.230, 5.609, and 982.516). These files are required to be maintained and available for examination at the time of audit. Condition: Based upon inspection of the Authority’s files and on discussion with management, there were documents that were unavailable for examination at the time of audit. Context: There are approximately 199 units. Of a sample size of twelve (12) tenant files, the following was noted: • Declaration of Section 214 Statuses form was missing in 2 files Our sample size is statistically valid. Known Questioned Costs: $8,912 Cause: There is a material weakness in internal controls over the compliance for the eligibility type of compliance related to the maintenance of tenant files. The Authority has not properly considered, designed, implemented, maintained and monitored a system of internal controls that assures the program is in compliance. Effect: The Public and Indian Housing Program is in material non-compliance with the eligibility type of compliance related to the maintenance of tenant files. Recommendation: We recommend the Authority design and implement internal control procedures that will assure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: The Authority accepts the recommendation of the auditor. The affected files relate to clients that have been on the program for decades and as files get large, archiving takes place. To correct this finding, a directive will be issued to staff that will ensure that when files are archived the original application must be placed in the current working file going forward. Yolanda Hart, Public Housing Property Manager, will be responsible to implement this corrective action by June 30, 2023. If the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has any questions regarding this plan, please call Mary Kuna, Executive Director, at 717-249-0789 ext. 118.
